Purpose-built for rowing clubs

Your club runs on WhatsApp. It shouldn't.

SeatFill replaces the group chat chaos with a purpose-built booking and club management platform for rowing clubs. Set up in 30 minutes.

Sound familiar?

Still running your club the hard way?

It's 6am. You've got 12 unread messages in the group chat and still don't know if your Eight has a cox.

Booking requests flooding in via WhatsApp and text

Members book their seat in 30 seconds, any time of day or night

Two members replying to the same message at once

Real-time conflict prevention — double-booking is physically impossible

Boat goes out short because someone cancelled last minute

Automatic waitlist fills the seat instantly when anyone withdraws

No record of who holds which qualifications

Qualification gates enforced automatically — sweep, sculling, cox, and coaching

Everything you need

Built for rowing clubs. Not adapted for them.

Every feature was designed around how rowing clubs actually operate. If your club does it, SeatFill handles it.

Core

Visual Seat Booking

Members pick their exact seat in the boat. The cox seat, the stroke seat — all visible on one screen.

Smart

Automatic Waitlist

Boats fill up automatically. Members jump the queue when a seat opens. No more 'is there space?' messages.

Core

Qualification Gates

Set which boats each member can row. Seniors in the Eight, novices in the Four — enforced automatically.

Core

Regatta Management

Plan events, collect availability, and build your crew lists — all in one place.

Safety

BoatCheck Inspections

Digital pre-outing safety checklists. Every check logged with a timestamp before the boat leaves the dock.

Simple by design

Up and running in a day

No IT department. No long contracts. No complicated setup. We do the heavy lifting so your club can focus on rowing.

1

Add your fleet

Upload your boats, assign seat layouts, and set qualification requirements. Takes about 10 minutes.

2

Invite your crew

Members get a link, set a password, and can book from any phone. No app download. No training needed.

3

The chaos stops

Members book their seat, the waitlist handles itself, and you get a clear schedule every morning. You're done.

What your members see

Booking a boat should feel as good as being on one

Only your eligible boats

Members see only the boats they're qualified for. An unqualified member simply never sees the booking button.

One-tap booking

Pick a date, choose morning or afternoon, confirm. Done in under 10 seconds from the home screen.

Smart waitlisting

Full? Join the waitlist in one tap. A seat opens? Automatic alert with a 30-minute claim window. No admin.

Installs like a native app

Tap 'Add to Home Screen' on any phone — iOS or Android. Works offline at the pontoon without signal.

Frequently asked

How quickly can we get set up?

Most clubs are live within 24 hours. You send us your boats and member list — we configure your domain, branding, fleet, and booking rules, then hand you the keys.

Do members need to download an app?

No app store needed. Members open the link in their phone browser and tap 'Add to Home Screen' — it installs and works exactly like a native app.

Can we use our own domain?

Yes — every club gets a custom domain (e.g. row.yourclub.co.uk) with automatic SSL and DNS setup. Members see your club's login page, your logo, your colours. SeatFill never appears.

What happens when a booking is cancelled?

The next member on the waitlist is automatically notified and given 30 minutes to claim the slot. If they don't respond, the offer moves to the next person in the queue — all without any admin involvement.

How do qualification restrictions work?

Each boat has a qualification requirement — sweep, sculling, cox, or coaching. Each member has their qualifications set by an admin. When a member tries to book an eight and lacks sweep qualification, they simply cannot.

Is our data shared with other clubs?

Never. Each club's data is completely isolated — members, bookings, and settings are entirely private to your club.

What does it cost?

Three flat-rate plans: Small (£39/mo, up to 3 boats & 25 members), Medium (£59/mo, up to 10 boats & 100 members, includes Regatta Module & Legal Document Centre), and Large (£99/mo, unlimited everything with BoatCheck included). No per-seat fees, no surprises.
